Chapter 10: Lynn Will Protect Everyone!
The most fundantal reason was, he felt his advancent on the mountain, was going to slip into stagnation.
Now his "Signs" and "Alchemy" skills, were both proficient level, which is the level of a formal Witcher who can leave the school.
"Wolf School Swordsmanship" though was already master level, that is the level comparable to experienced Witchers like Geralt and them, who have witnessed all kinds of great storms and waves.
And the "Full Enhancent" perk, based on the original Witcher, even further boosted his 20% strength, speed, and constitution.
It can be said like that, the current him, do not look at him as if he is young, but already surpassed most official Witchers graduated from the school.
To stay on the mountain, still slaying monsters, keep gaining attribute points, increasing skill levels.
But still insufficient.
He, who knows what will happen in the future, understands that he must beco stronger.
Only then can one defend Kaer Morhen, defend all of the Wolf School.
Previously, Lynn was just an observer, and even now would sigh with regret for the conclusions in the original novel and gas.
Now, he is already a part of it, and more still has no business sitting idly by and watching all this transpire.
"Lynn, I am aware that your sword fighting has progressed quite quickly, but the abilities of a Witcher are not solely sword fighting, Signs and Alchemy must develop overall, then you can be considered an official Witcher."
Geralt spoke seriously and in good faith.
He thought it was last year when Lynn went with them into the mountains to kill monsters, that made Lynn so confident to zealously prove himself.
He admitted that from a swordsmanship point of view, Lynn really passed the test already.
But Signs, he trained for one year, this is completely not enough.
As for Alchemy.
They had not yet taught Lynn.
And a Witcher who does not understand Alchemy, certainly can't be a good Witcher.
Geralt's start was good.
And in fact, he was training Lynn in all ways.
But what he didn't know was, Lynn's Wolf School Swordsmanship had long ago changed.
Even to him, this mythic White Wolf, it was not to be rivaled.
And as for Signs and Alchemy, they were already on par with a full-fledged Witcher.
Lynn had long grown accustod to his brothers' good-natured suspicions.
So.
"I see, Geralt."
Lynn nodded, making it seem like he got it.
Then, he pulled out so bottles of wonderfully colored potions, set them on the table.
All were brewed by him, in his free ti, using proficient level Alchemy.
All of them were quality standard potions.
"This."
Geralt, Eskel, and Lambert looked at one another.
After so ti, Geralt swallowed one of the potions.
To begin with, he carefully examined the liquid colour in the flask, opened the stopper, and sniffed it.
At last, having looked at Lynn once more, he gulped it down, no hesitation whatsoever.
Lambert couldn't help but enquire, "How is it?"
Vesemir and Eskel stared at Geralt as well.
Geralt put the empty bottle down, his face one of admiration, but also with a touch of questioning expression.
"It's qualified."
But then he asked Lynn with a curious tone, "How did you do it, exactly?"
To say that Geralt would be jealous of a junior like Lynn, that would not be so.
But now he really did possess a kind of helpless feeling of "comparing people makes one die, comparing goods makes one throw them away."
He still rembered how he learned Alchemy under Vesemir's over-the-top pressure, under cramming education thod.
That truly was an intolerable mory.
Even more sad was, that experience continued for a full several years.
But Lynn, this kid, clearly last winter, was rely a junior apprentice after them.
But he only borrowed a single year, and indeed, without any instructor to teach him, learned the Alchemy which he practiced for many years to perfection.
Now, he partially understood where Lynn's confidence ca from.
Goodness gracious, Geralt didn't know Lynn was not only capable of brewing good standard potions, but also brewing them effectively and well, or else.
When Lynn's capability had been established, all fell into silence.
Even Lambert, perpetually sarcastic, at this ti lacked his usual cold derision.
Everyone looked at Vesemir.
Vesemir let out a sigh.
Because he had been the great master of the Wolf School for so long, he had trained infinite apprentices.
Among them, there were so who could not even persevere with the first physical training;
Most were unable to make it through the Trial of the Grasses.
Even those lucky enough to survive, would die in the dallion Trials, and the quest after leaving the mountain.
With ti, the training of Witcher apprentices beca more demanding.
And Lynn was now the youngest and greatest apprentice of the Wolf School.
In fact, unlike rumors, Witcher modifications do not take away their feelings.
At least, not the Wolf School Witchers.
Geralt, in most cases, was not willing to display his emotional changes, so as not to allow ordinary people to negotiate and moral kidnapping.
Since Lynn was returned by Vesemir to the castle a few years ago, and everyone lived together, Vesemir long treated Lynn as his own son.
If it were not for Lynn himself offering to attend the dallion Trials, Vesemir would not force him.
But now, since it was Lynn's clear demand.
Vesemir left the dinner table in silence.
Leaving the rest of them looking at each other in confusion.
"What's wrong with the old man?"
"Shut up, Lambert, you just never get the mood, do you!"
Overlooking the quarrel between Geralt and Lambert, Eskel, like an older brother, inquired of Lynn with concern.
"Lynn, you have talent, I admit, you've already matched an official Witcher in all aspects, but if you want to stay at Kaer Morhen for another two years, it's fine too, you don't have to rush to leave the mountain."
"Although the tis now are difficult, if we take a bite, we won't let you go hungry."
Apparently, as reported by Eskel, Lynn's impatience to leave the school was that he was too proud to let others take care of him.
Despite the fact that there indeed was this motivation involved, this was not the most important motivation.
Lynn looked Eskel directly in the eye, and said sincerely.
"Thank you, Eskel, I value your kindness."
"It's just that I believe, being alone as a child on the mountain, the space for growth is not good. If you don't mind, I can go with you, or Geralt, down the mountain, I think this would be a better choice."
From independent learning Alchemy, and getting benefits after skill upgrade, it can be seen that this attribute panel bound to , can be said to have infinite possibilities.
After Geralt and taking them off the mountain, both of them can find ways to learn more other skills, and can even ease Vesemir's burden.
It's just killing two birds with one stone.
Geralt, across from him, took a long swig of beer, "Since you've had so thought about it, I have complete respect for your choice, I'll ride along with you to the dallion Trials and when the snow that freezes the mountain next year thaws out, you can follow down the mountain behind, I'll see you."
